Watercolour Pencils, Assorted Pack of 300

This extensive pack of 300 Faber-Castell Watercolour Pencils offers a wide and inspiring selection of colours, making it an ideal resource for classrooms and group settings. The pigment-rich, soft leads deliver vibrant colour both dry and when activated with water, providing students with a versatile medium for drawing, colouring, and painting. When used wet-particularly on watercolour paper-these pencils transform into rich, flowing washes that emulate traditional watercolours. They can also be layered over standard lead pencil or combined with traditional watercolour paints to add depth and texture to student artwork. Their ability to function as both standard coloured pencils and watercolour tools makes them a flexible choice for educators. Whether used for detailed illustration, expressive painting, or colour blending exercises, these high-quality pencils support a broad range of creative techniques. Faber-Castell's commitment to tradition and environmental responsibility makes this set a reliable and ethical choice for educational use.
